LetsRun Park - Jeju

Sit back and think about the alternative. Would you insaetd create a law that forbids anyone to not speak in their native dialect? This would be the only way of preventing the transformation of a language.In the end that is what its all about, transformation. This applies to any language of any place. Over time change happens, modernization takes hold, villages are paved for apartments and shopping malls. The village might be nice for the visitor to "look" at, or for the old timer to "remember" about, but its absolutely horrible for the current occupants to live in compared to the apartments. Are the new apartments perfect? No their are not, but they are a better, cleaner, healthier living standard then the straw huts.This same approach can be used for languages, they change with time, converge and separate. The dialect of older years changes to the modern speech of today that will someday become the dialect of older years that people research. The English of 200 years ago would not be recognizable today, nor would speaking it as your native dialect be a desirable trait. We remember it in books and plays, and its displayed to everyone as art, but its use as an actual form of communication no longer exists. This has happened to all languages, they've changed adapted and transformed overtime. In a few hundred years the English we speak now will not resemble the English they speak then. They will have scholars who study today's English as a past language just like they have scholars who are studying the Jeju dialect.One day they will have this same discussion about today's dialect.
